I still call it one of the WORST roadways ever. On a dark rainy night? Fuggedaboutit.

Of course, but this is just scapegoating “consultants”

Every fortune 500 operates on consultants

Holy shit that’s hilarious. Where is this?

Lol.

I adopted my two cats from this organization. They had a great team that was extremely helpful and professional. Hate to hear that this is happening to them. Please consider donating if you have the means

My firm and every other firm I know of pays remote workers the same as in-person workers. The idea that remote workers should earn less is ridiculous. If anything it’s a benefit to the employer, which saves on their commercial real estate footprint.

"Starting pay for emergency medical technicians, frontline responders who are among the city’s lowest-paid workers, is currently equivalent to $18.94 an hour.

Anthony Almojera, the vice president of Uniformed EMS Officers Union Local 3621, said he’s lost eight members to suicide in the last three years, and that some members are homeless.

The majority of EMS workers in the city, Barzilay and Almojera said, are women and people of color. 

The gaps in pay between EMTs and uniformed firefighters are so wide that in December 2021 the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) determined that the city “discriminated against current and former first responders of the FDNY’s EMS, based on race and sex … with respect to pay, benefits and terms and conditions of employment” and urged City Hall to remediate the issues.

The pay discrepancies, Barzilay and Almojera say, exist because their members are compensated as civilian workers, despite their status as uniformed officers, like firefighters and police officers, and despite facing many of the same risks on the job. In 2020, City Council passed a resolution for EMS to be paid the same as firefighters, but the city has not taken action, as noted in the class-action suit."

I feel the same way about most of Reddit and social media. Most people just seem to try to find something to criticize, no matter what the subject is. What a cynical existence.

no sorry!

>By 2011, the MTA had trimmed its in-house capital projects management group of 1,600 full-time employees (circa 1990) to just 124, tasked with steering $20 billion in investment.

That does seem like a big cut but I don’t have anything to compare it to nor context on why.

The LIRR is not representative of the NYC subway system.

Uh khakis

Sorry.

There's your community-sanctioned contribution.

Though I do love how you complainers always hate the person who points out that you fools hate everything. Fitting though, if you think about it.

I'm sure 90% of the fare evaders can't afford the fare as it is. You go after them you're only sticking them in an already over taxed judicial system where nothing will get back to MTA. They need to stop giving contracts to the lowest bidder and give it to the ones that guarantee the work is done on time at fair prices. They need to be more on top of who they are using, what their contractors are using, and the time that these contractors are actually putting into the project and not just what they're billing MTA for.

I do love seeing complaints about how inefficient government is, as if the private sector doesn’t have massive bloat and waste as well.

Probably should have taken the I or second O out of Robinson instead

“Welcome to Walmart.. i love you”

It’s probably shortened to fit the sign. I’ve seen some weird abbreviations on NY signs
